    Not exactly gourmet lunch but the free salad was fine. Service compensated for quality. As can be seen in the picture, it's some sort of Dutch national meal probably. The food took as much preparation as this review.

    All the dishes were delicious and satisfying. The staff are kind and willing to visit again next time. Friday evening is very crowded, so consider it when you visit. The first and second floors sell alcohol until 3 a.m. and the restaurant on the third floor is open until 10 p.m.

    Beer in Czech is totally different. Glass should be cold in water and serving should be one time shot with consistent foam. Beer have to be for the whole time under this foam. Beer taste like 2 days old. It's making bad name to our national treasure. Brewery Kozel should sent someone to teach them.

    Ikinä en ole ennen tätä kertaa käynyt, mutta kehuja olen kuullut ja paljon. Heillä oli tällainen 'riista menu' mikä sisälsi kolme eri ruokalajia ja kaikki oli selkeästi harkittu sekä suunniteltu alusta loppuun. Jokainen eri ruokalaji helli maku nystyröitä ja aina yhden haukun jälkeen sitä toivoisi annoksen koskaan loppuvan. Voin siis suositella lämpimästi Vltavaa jo ruuan, mutta myös erittäin ystävällisen henkilökunnan vuoksi. Ystävällisesti vaihtoivat kaverin oluen, kun ei tummasta välitä

    Selkeä ruokalista, hyvin tilaa perjantaina viiden jälkeen. Alkupalat olivat hyvät, fish&chips oikein mainio mutta kaverin schnitzel oli kuulemma kuiva ja mauton. Tarjoilija oli hieman kuutamolla alkuun, eikä oikein vaikuttanut tietävän esim. Yläkerran olutvalikoimasta mitään, mutta hän oli kuitenkin ystävällinen.

    Kaunis, vanha rakennus heti rautatieaseman välittömässä läheisyydessä jossa viihtyy joka kerta. Ruoka on maistuvaa ja palvelu hyvää. Tunnelmakin kohdillaan. Hinnat saisivat olla hieman matalammat mutta muutoin ei valittamista. Ihana paikka!

    I started with fried cheese, which was slightly overcooked. The mixed grill for the main course was delicious, although a bit on the pricey side. The Marlenka dessert was a highlight. However, I was surprised that a Czech restaurant didn't have Pilsner available, which seemed quite unusual 😁

    Hyvä ruoka ja mainio palvelu! Ystävä joutui laittamaan hirvenlihan takaisin keittiöön, kun oli kengänpohjaa. Mutta takaisin saatiin herkullista mureaa lihaa, oikein valmistettuna. Tarjoilija hoiti täydellisesti koko vaihdon!

    Lounas aikaan käyty alacartessa. Maistettu pippuri pihviä, grill mixiä, uunijäätelöä ja omena struuderia. Kaikki olivat todella maittavia ja palvelu toimi hyvin.

    The staff are crying at work place because the management does nothing but complain, eat up staff morale and make everyone's life a living hell. If you care about staff at all you'll stay far far far far away from this place untill something radical happens with their management

    3 years I haven't had fish and chips since l left England. Till yesterday. Your haddock and chips tested better than England. Equally as tasty as any speak. Brilliant white chips of fish. Taste was delicious. Can't wait to come back

    We ate here during blini season. The food was good, but we found that the portions could have been bigger.

  • 3/5 Björn W. 1 year ago on Google
    Too expensive for the quality. Location is the best aspect of this place. Families are not welcome to dine, so this is targeting people who want to drink alcohol.

  • 4/5 Hörður B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and the service were absolutely smashing! The atmosphere was a bit too fine dining for my taste, would have preferred a more homely atmosphere.

  • 4/5 A P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the last Czechia-style bars in Helsinki. Good selection of beers on tap. A good place to visit if in city center.

  • 4/5 Tiina 10 months ago on Google
    Iso, tunnelmallinen ja hieman sokkeloinenkin ravintola monessa tasossa ja kerroksessa. Ulkona myös terassitilaa. Alimmat kerrokset pyhitetty juomakulttuurille ja ylemmät ruokaileville. Alakerrassa 2 baaria ja esim urheilua varten telkkarin ja sireeni myös, joten huuhkajien peli ei sivu suun mennyt vaikkei pelipaikalle päässytkään.

    Great selection of food staff friendly and helpful would definitely go again

  • 4/5 Wilhelm S. 6 months ago on Google
    Iso paikka, jossa saa ehtaa ruokaa ja juomista. On onnistunut yhdistelmä pubia ja ravintolaa. Kumpikaan "ei häiritse" toista, molemmissa saa tehdä sitä mitä sinne tultiin tekemään eli syömään tai juomaan. Sapuskapuoli hyvä, maistuvia annoksia oluen kyytipojaksi. Schnitzel iso ja maukas. Sokkeloisen toimiva kokonaisuus, mutta tosi kallis...

  • 3/5 Jarkko R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, quite average food but excellent service. A bit of a ”tourist place” but ok.

  • 4/5 a k. 2 years ago on Google
    If you stay here for a while, your life might take a surprising turn. Nice place to spend an evening with friends.

  • 5/5 Pekka N. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent, reasonably-priced lunches. Very friendly staff. Please note that lunch is served at the 3rd floor (no lift). This is a nice place, but being close to the bus stops and the railway station it tends to be a bit of a transient area.

  • 5/5 Marko L. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to visit. Delicious Czech-styled food and good selection of beers.

    Wow, what a restaurant. Food was delicious. Pricey but expected in central Helsinki. Customer service was fantastic, specifically from Delia. Well done!

  • 5/5 Alberto 2 years ago on Google
    Pure luxury. At least for little me (!) 😎❤

  • 5/5 Bolutife 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious 😋 😍 (can't remember what I ordered tho🙃).

  • 4/5 Mike 1 year ago on Google
    Nice Czech bar and restaurant on center of Helsinki. Had Czech black beer was very tasty. The place is really big so don't get lost. The menu is a bit pricey but that's normal in Helsinki. For schnitzel 26euro it's the highest price I saw in my life.

    This building used to be the ticketing office of Finnair. It is a historic landmark in the center of Helsinki though small in size compared with the other buildings in the neighborhood. due to the advent of e-commerce, the building lost its function as a venue of ticketing office. A restaurant may well serve its purpose of being.

    The portions were small according to their prices.

  • 1/5 P. R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Beer tastes good, but it costs 10€ 0,5Liters. The prices of the food are hilarious. Go somewhere else!

  • 5/5 Jukka-Paco H. 1 year ago on Google

    Nice smoked salmon that was nicely grilled with beetroot and cale.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic place to eat and drink. Great choice of food and beer! Lovely atmosphere and a fantastic location

  • 3/5 Sauli N. 1 year ago on Google
    A basic okay restaurant. The dishes are not bad, but not mindblowing either. Would probably go again, but there a definately better places in helsinki with this price point.

  • 3/5 Valentina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Since my last visit in 2019 prices for meals went up, and quality of the dishes went down. Used to be my go-to spot before a railway trip. Not anymore if the price-quality ratio decline continues.

  • 4/5 Rickard H. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice restaurant right in the center of Helsinki. A quite large establishment, with multiple floors, but still quite cozy and warm. The food and drinks were great. The staff was really professional and nice too. Perhaps not the choice if you are on a budget. The customer activated miniatyre railway on the second floor was a nice touch. 🚂 👌
